Mourinho summoned for questioning on tax fraud allegation
Madrid, Sep 29 (IANS) Former Real Madrid coach Jose Mourinho has been summoned by a Spanish court to be questioned on $3.9 million tax fraud allegations, officials said on Friday.
The Manchester United coach should appear before a court of instruction in Madrid on November 3 to give his statement as investigated in the case, officials told Efe.
The court accepted the complaint Spanish regional prosecutor filed against Mourinho, in which Portuguese coach faces accusations of defrauding Spain’s tax office of 3.3 million euros ($3.90 million) of income derived from his image rights, reports Efe.
According to the complainant, Mourinho is under suspicion of having committed two crimes against the Public Treasury in relation to personal income tax in 2011 and 2012, when he was coaching Real Madrid.
The tax he is under suspicion of having evaded amounts to 3,304,670 euros in 2011 and 1,693,133 euros in 2012, according to documents held in the Madrid branch of the Public Prosecutor’s Office.
Mourinho signed a work contract with Real Madrid on March 31, 2010, and moved his residence to Madrid, thus acquiring a tax status as a fiscal resident in Spain.
However, between 2011 and 2012 and “with a view to obtaining an illicit benefit,” he filed tax returns in a timely manner but without declaring revenues derived from image rights, prosecutors alleged

The left-handed batsman from Haryana is garnering praise from all quarters for the way he’s finishing games regularly in the most exciting IPL season.
Gavaskar reckons Tewatia’s whirlwind knock in Sharjah (in IPL 2020) where he smashed West Indies pacer Sheldon Cottrell for five sixes in an over, gave him the confidence that he belongs to the big stage.
Speaking on Cricket Live on Star Sports, Gavaskar said, “That assault on Sheldon Cottrell in Sharjah gave him the belief to do the impossible and the confidence that he belongs here. We saw the impossible (he did with the bat) the other day as well. There’s no twitching or touching the pads (which shows a batter’s nervousness) when he bats in the death overs. He just waits for the ball to be delivered and plays his shots. He’s got all the shots in the book, but most importantly his temperament to stay cool in a crisis is brilliant.”
Gavaskar has also nicknamed the 28-year-old cricketer the ‘ice-man’ and lauded Tewatia’s ability to remain unruffled during the tense moments.
